DATEV IMPRESSIONS.
We continue this week with more impressions from students who attended
the 2010 St. Gregory of Datev Summer Institute. An article about this
years Datev Institute and photographs are on the Prelacy web page
(www.armenianprelacy.org).
This was my fourth year at Datev; each year I come back it got better
and better. I meet new people every time. The classes and general
sessions this year were all very interesting and caused me to think
more about myself as a person both physical and spiritual. The
activities this year were also fun. During the retreat there was a
soccer game that many of the participants played in, and on Wednesday
the entire institute went canoeing. We have morning and evening
services every day along with Badarak on Sundays. I like seeing the
complete Badarak during Datev because I usually dont see it as much
during the year. Compared to other years I have attended Datev, I
think that this year was one of the best. Everyone was friendly to
each other and I learned a lot.
Jason Pjojian, 4th year
My first year as a post graduate at the Datev Institute was
great. Datev is a place where you can relax, have fun, and most
importantly, learn about our Christian faith. At Datev you meet many
new people and experience amazing fellowship. The week is well
organized and structured so that there is not one minute of
dullness. The worship services in the mornings and evenings are
beautiful. I am definitely looking forward to returning next year.
Levon Zobian, PostGrad
I knew a lot of people from previous years and met new friends that
were at the Datev Institute for the first time. Im really looking
forward to next years Datev.
Antranig Gharibian, 3rd year
I learned a lot and I had a great time. I cant wait until next years
Datev.

BIBLE READING
Bible readings for Sunday, August 8, Fifth Sunday of Transfiguration
(Eve of the Fast of the Assumption, are: Isaiah 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians
13:11-14:5; Mark 2:1-12.
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a
child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end
to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will
see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully,
even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide,
these three; and the greatest of these is love.
Pursue love and strive for the spiritual gifts, and especially
that you may prophesy. For those who speak in a tongue do not speak to
other people but to God; for nobody understands them, since they are
speaking mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, those who
prophesy speak to other people for their upbuilding and encouragement
and consolation. Those who speak in a tongue build up themselves, but
those who prophesy build up the church. Now I would like all of you to
speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. One who prophesies is
greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so
that the church may be built up. (1 Corinthians 13:11-14:5)

TWO HUNDRED HOLY FATHERS OF THE
ECUMENICAL COUNCIL OF EPHESUS
This Saturday, August 7, the Armenian Church commemorates the 200 Holy
Fathers of the Council of Ephesus (431 AD). Ephesus, the third general
council, was convened upon the order of Emperor Theodosius II to
settle the Nestorian heresy. A large number of high-ranking church
leaders attended, headed by Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria. The
principle decision of the Council was the condemnation of
Nestorius. The Council excommunicated Nestorius and condemned the
heresy, affirmed the Nicene Creed, and approved the title of Theotokos
(God-bearer) for the Virgin Mary.
The Armenian Church accepted the canons and decisions of the
Council and designated a day in the liturgical calendar on the
Saturday of the Paregentan of the Assumption. The Armenian Church
recognizes the first three councils: Nicaea (325); Constantinople
(381); and Ephesus (431), with special days in the liturgical calendar
for all three.
Ephesus was an ancient Greek city and later the chief city of
the Roman province of Asia at the crossroads of the coastal route
between Smyrna and Cyzicus. The Temple of Ardemis in the city was one
of the great wonders of the ancient world. St. Paul took Christianity
to Ephesus (Acts 18:18-19). He stayed there for two years during his
third missionary journey.
Ephesus is one of the seven churches of Asia mentioned in the
Book of Revelation. In Chapter 2 Jesus praises the people of Ephesus
for their perseverance and hard work, however admonishes them for
forgetting their first love. Their Christianity had become a faithful
ritual but not a relationship of love to the Lord.
Ephesus, now located in Turkey in the province of Izmir, is a
popular international tourist attraction.

ASSUMPTION OF THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD

Assumption of the Holy Mother of God. This is a five-day period of
